Is precarious employment damaging to self-rated health? Results of propensity score matching methods, using longitudinal data in South Korea.
TLDR
Univariate matched analyses showed that precarious employment was associated with worse health in both men and women and suggested that to improve health status of precarious workers in Korea, policy strategies need to tackle the channeling of the socially disadvantaged into precarious jobs.About:

The central role of the propensity score in observational studies for causal effects
TL;DR: The authors discusses the central role of propensity scores and balancing scores in the analysis of observational studies and shows that adjustment for the scalar propensity score is sufficient to remove bias due to all observed covariates.

Self-rated health and mortality : a review of twenty-seven community studies
Ellen L. Idler,Yael Benyamini +1 more
TL;DR: This work examines the growing number of studies of survey respondents' global self-ratings of health as predictors of mortality in longitudinal studies of representative community samples and suggests several approaches to the next stage of research in this field.

Some practical guidance for the implementation of propensity score matching
Marco Caliendo,Sabine Kopeinig +1 more
TL;DR: Propensity score matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimate causal treatment effects as discussed by the authors, but empirical examples can be found in very diverse fields of study, and each implementation step involves a lot of decisions and different approaches can be thought of.

Propensity score methods for bias reduction in the comparison of a treatment to a non‐randomized control group
TL;DR: The propensity score, defined as the conditional probability of being treated given the covariates, can be used to balance the variance of covariates in the two groups, and therefore reduce bias as mentioned in this paper.
